make what they called tours
ton" by which they made
themselves acquainted with
the various sections of the
country. Perhaps no Presi-
dent ever entered the White
House with less acquaintance,
by actual observation, of the
country over which he has
been chosen to administer than
Mr.. Cleveland. The contrast
between the little our President
has seen of this great country
and the extensive travels Of
Washington and Monroe is
hardly greater than that be-
tween the conveniences of
transportation now and then.
When Washington set out from
Mount Vernon. in 1889, to as
sumo the duties of President,
he iourneyed in his own car
riage. He himself has described
his outfit. He says: MY

minds ofmostpeople. although
he made it over twenty years
ago. On a hot August day
in 1866 he started for Chicago
to lay the cornerstone of the
Douglas monument by the
lake shore, on ground that the
Little Giant had given for a
park. With the President
were Secretary Seward. Gideon
Welles, Postmaster General
Randall, General Grant and
Admiral Farragut. The jour
ney was made by way of
Philadelphia, New York,
Albany, the interior cities of
the Empire State and along the
Lake Shore road. The special
train stopped at every place
of any importance, and Mr..
Johnson made a speech in

around the circle" He
hoped to be able to convince
the people that he was right
and Congress wrong with re-
gard to the adoption of the
Fourteenth amendment, but
he failed, the fall elections
sustained Congress, and the
journey only did the reverse
of what the principal trav-
eler hoped from it.
THE GREATEST PRESIDENTIAL
TRAVELLER.
General Grant was the great
est traveller of all our Presi-
dents, but he really travelled
very little while President. He
went back and forth to Long
Branch, visited Senator Conk-
ling at Utica and Marshall
Jewell at Hartford, and made
a flying visit to Chicago and
Omaha, but these were very
quiet journeys. Probably no

At the White House Levees.

The President is very rapid hand
shaker. He has been known to shake
hands with as many as fifty minute,
and often when there is a big crowd.
and it moves rapidly, he will pass by sixty
in minute.
During the first year of the Presidents
term, off1ce-seekers who had been unable
to see him would remain until the end
of reception and then rush upon him,
but he would repulse them, and they
would leave empty-handed as they ar
rived.
The ushers are always on the lookout
to see that no crank or man who intends
harm to the President approaches him.
These ushers have been at the White
House for long time, and are able to
judge human nature at a glance. They
can tell crank as soon as he enters the
room, and particularly guard against a
scene.
The President at first was quite ner-
vous, but he has grown used to the crowd
and the people, and handles them re-
markably well.
He seems to enjoy these receptions, and
as they are the only chance he has of see
ing the public helm

In looking over the catalogue OF tho

find stallion race, nor q three year

year-olds in his vicinity that would

enough TO put his entry into the three
yoar.old class (or wait year., where
lie will find four 10 seven entries.
Truly the society ought to consult
with different people to see what is
wanted. The breeders should be en-
couraged in the labor and outlay they
have endured in bringing stations here
to build up the road horse Of Virginia.
Can such men as II. G. ChamOlin, Col

with host OF others, who are pushing
their energies to this end, hope to sue
